Abstract:
The field of information retrieval has observed noticeable growth over the past decades in reaction to the prolonged practice of the internet and the dreadful requirement of users to hunt for huge amounts of digital information. Assuming the stable intensification of Arabic e-content, brilliant information retrieval systems must be planned to uniform the nature and needs of the Arabic language. This paper shelters graceful on the present development in the field of Arabic information retrieval finds the trials that delay the development of this learning and proposes recommendations for additional research. This paper practices the imaginative analytical technique to scrutinize the genuineness of Arabic educations in the field of information retrieval and to learn the difficulties that are being confronted in this area. Especially, the earlier literature on information retrieval is reviewed by searching the connected databases and websites.
